Research Interests: I am plant stress physiologist. My primary interest is to investigate: The influence of selected environmental stresses on plants and the role of antioxidant in combating plant stress. Phytoremediation, using plants for remediation of heavy metals. Identify plant stresses using remote sensing. |
